The view from Point Conception

As a part of my job I see Point Conception on a regular basis. The sight is something that I don't think I can ever get sick of. I hope you feel the same way because here are some more photos from the majestic point (and trust me, there will me more in the future too!)

This post was a little delayed. It is from October 1.

On the first day of the government shutdown, I took some time to watch birds in Los Osos. It wasn't a very heavy photo day, but I did take some photos. Below are three photos of a lesser yellowlegs (Tringa flavipes) and one of a snowy egret (Egretta thula).
